The Children
Keeping children in their culture matters.
Children in foster care come from all backgrounds—most share a background of abuse or neglect. They can be newborns, toddlers, or teenagers. They come from every part of the state and every race, religion, and socio-economic group. In too many instances, their parents have unresolved substance abuse issues.
In Utah, we urgently need foster families to care for diverse children, siblings, and teens.
